Hyperfantasy refers to a form of setting beyond 'high fantasy' entering the realm that fuses genres like comic books, manga, scifi, fantasy, horror, steampunk, and video games into one. It takes 'high fantasy' to the realm your local DM usually is afraid to go because it's beyond the levels (of power, of classes, of monsters) that most DMs really want to deep dive into. Meta fiction, nexus worlds, and crossovers tend to have this blend of epic adventure and potential.
If Lord of the Rings is Fantasy and Harry Potter is High Fantasy, then Final Fantasy XIV is Hyperfantasy
